A report released by the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado has revealed that the Arctic ice is at its second-lowest level in history, and is melting because of the impact of global warming. The National Snow and Ice Data Center put out the report late last week, confirming that the Arctic sea ice is melting away.
It is at its second-lowest point in recorded history. The lowest-point in recorded history was in 2007.
The report stated that “We could very well be in that quick slide downward in terms of passing a tipping point.”
That tipping point has to do with global warming, and is causing major problems for the Arctic sea ice, and endangered species such as the polar bear.
The level of Artic sea ice in 2008 is at 2.03 million square miles, compared to 1.59 million square miles in 2007.
